Work will start soon on supporting the WildCat v3.0 databases.
I've spent multi-hours on the phone with two generous and helpful
sysops trying to debug the desqview problem with moderate progress.
The cause is still unknown, but I have found that pkunzip is NOT
the problem. AViewCom locks up before getting to that point.
05/25/91
I have found several systems that have successuflly run WildCat
under DesqView with no problems, but other systems which will lock
up every time when AViewCom shells out to pkunzip. My system with
a test copy of these programs works well. The investigation as to
the cause of this problem with some systems locking up is ongoing.
04/21/91
The number one bug report currently is that AViewCom will lock-up
the system when shelling out to pkunzip and running under DesqView,
and WildCat. I understand that with older versions of DesqView
and WildCat this did not happen. I am planning on investigating
this problem further.

AViewCom now performs dynamic disk swapping. There are five
modules within the program which are swapped out as they are used.
This will reduce the memory usage some, but the major memory usage
still remains with the archiver which AViewCom shells out to. As a
note, PKUNZIP requires 260K of memory! Also, VIEW.OVL is no longer
required.
08/21/90
I have tested AViewCom v4.4e with DesqView v2.26 with direct screen
writes enabled, and as far as I can tell (I'm not a DesqView
user!), it works okay - AViewCom doesn't overwrite other screens
when you're in other windows. I have also added the PIF file which
you should review and change as needed.
07/04/90
Mustang has release v2.15. I have had reports that the AVUSER
functions is not working properly with the new version. I will
have this fixed with the next release which will also work under
DeskView and multi-node systems.
03/04/90
Mustang will soon be releasing a v2.15 which will create the CALLINFO.BBS
file when spawning out to the arcviewer. I believe this file is different
from the one that aviewcom made but I don't know what yet. AViewCom v4.5
will be able to use it, and will properly function in the avuser mode.
Sysops are cautioned on the use of the avuser function until this function
is verified with the new version.
01/01/90
I have incorported the functions of CALLINF2, AVSETUP, and AVUSER into
AVIEWCOM. These are accessed by command line switches beginning with
a slash. To invoke AVSETUP, type AVIEWCOM /S. To invoke AVUSER, type
AVIEWCOM /U. To invoke CALLINF2, type AVIEWCOM /C.
09/23/89
AViewCom will now update the user database to reflect: 1) total
downloads, 2) total download kbytes, 3) daily downloads, and 4)
daily download kbytes. It does not update number of accesses for
the files downloaded (USERFILE.DAT is the only file altered).
The updating feature does not work with multi-node systems.
AViewCom v3 will be updated for the ShareWare market and will not
support WildCat v2.0. AViewCom v4 will be updated for Registered
users only. Mustang is working on a WildCat version 3 which will
eliminate the need for AVIEWCOM /C and AVIEWCOM /U.
